Cassia

A relative of cinnamon, cassia, also known as Chinese cinnamon, has a strong, spicy aroma; cassia can be used in small amounts to transform any essential oil blend or flavorful dessert. Cassia has been used for thousands of years for its diverse health benefits and is one of the essential oils mentioned in the Old Testament for its unique aroma and soothing aromatic properties. Cassia can be used in cooking as a cinnamon substitute in cakes and breads, or on its own in countless starters and desserts.
